Launched in Naarm/Melbourne, The Halves are a band rooted in emotion and unwavering intensity. Blending elements of post-punk and alternative, The Halves craft a sound with shimmering guitar tones colliding with propulsive, Prodigy-style drum beats. Influenced by the sonic spirit of the ’80s and ’90s, they draw inspiration from bands like The Smiths, The Stone Roses and Joy Division, along with Britpop bands of the time, merging sharp lyricism with a rhythmic intensity that feels both urgent and lived-in.

Comprised of Chris White, Sam Woodham, Sam Sanders, and Tim Hardy, The Halves are not about spectacle, they’re about presence. Their live shows are understated yet magnetic, pulling audiences into a world built on atmosphere, tension, and emotional weight. This is music that doesn’t demand attention, it holds it.
